The young girl was once again seen running around the small garden. A small white fluff ball was running after her, barking happily at her.

“Is it just me or is Coco getting slower?” A deep voice spoke.

“It's just that our dearest granddaughter is growing taller and taller, and poor Coco has such short legs she can't keep up with her much longer.”, spoke another voice. Both ended up chuckling, looking out of the window. Without a word they both reached for each other's hand, after all these years they needed no words to know when they wanted or needed the comfortable warmth radiating from the other. Even after all these years they weren't able to stay away from each other for too long.

The slightly smaller one started leaning his head on the other's shoulder.

“You know, that used to be more comfortable. These days I feel like my body is starting to betray me more and more by getting inflexible each passing day.” muttered the shorter under his breath. A chuckle was heard from the other who now also leaned his head onto the shorter ones.

Jaebeom didn't joke when he said he would see Youngjae the next day.

When Youngjae left his dorm in the early morning, to rush to his first morning class the older was leaning on the wall opposite of his door. Startled and for sure not ready to face him this early when he was only half awake and his hair was the usual mess.

“What are you doing here?” he spoke softly.

“Good morning to you too Youngjae.” Jaebeom said with a smile, he gestured Youngjae to keep on doing what he was supposed to do. What, for a moment confused him and didn't know what it was.

“Shouldn't you lock the door before you leave?” Jaebeom's smile only grew with this. Youngjae couldn't help but groan under his breath, could this day start any worse? Why did his crush had to be there in the early morning when he wasn't even half awake yet to talk like a normal person, why had he once again over slept and wasn't able to brew himself a cup of coffee and would be ready for an encounter with the dancer?

“Oh! Yeah you're right I shouldn't forget to do that.”, not that he often forgot to lock it because he was in such a hurry to get to his class on time. No, not at all.

“But seriously what are you doing here? Won't you be late to your classes?” Youngjae said turning back to Jaebeom after securely locking his door.

Sure he had said they would see each other the next day, but this was just too unexpected and he still was half a sleep, for a second he had thought he was still sleeping and now even dreaming of the dancer.
Getting a coffee as soon as possible would be the best so he could properly function and won't embarrass himself even more in front of the other.

Once again he found himself speaking words he usually was too self-effacing to say.

“Look I know we have talked, well about this already, but still we aren't even that close and I surely didn't expect you to know where I live but this here might be kinda creepy. Not that I don't like it or appreciate it but you know, kinda creepy.” Maybe that was the wrong word he was just afraid, afraid that Jaebeom would see something that he would poke fun off later.

“You, my sunshine need obviously a coffee. Let's go we can talk later.” he heard Jaebeom speaking while starting to walk down the corridor. With no word Youngjae just followed him. Knowing that coffee would help him get to his normal self as well as being hopefully fully awake for his class.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Later the same morning, when Youngjae was heading towards the cafeteria to get his lunch he noticed that it was even more packed than usual. He tried to see if he could spot an empty table somewhere but it seemed like the whole campus had decided that they would eat inside today. A sigh escaped his lips, he might as well take his food outside and eat on the stairs or somewhere where he would be able to enjoy some calm minutes, maybe even get a short nap before he had to get to his afternoon class.

He was getting in line for the food when he overheard some guys who were standing in front of him talking.

“The girls are going nuts just because the dance crew decided that today they would eat here. It might be impossible for us to find a table since everyone is now inside instead of outside enjoying the first warmer day this year.” said one of them.

“Yes, like even the girls from our department are all here look over there! I even wouldn't be surprised if they started drooling soon.” answered the other.

As Youngjae heard this it all started to make sense. Glad that there were so many people now, he tried to make himself smaller and hid behind people so he could avoid getting seen by Jaebeom. From the impression he had gotten earlier the dancer would for sure drag him to his table and make him eat with him and his friends. There was nothing he would avoid more than that because after that the whole campus would know that there was something up with him and the dancers. Even if there wasn't or was there?

He almost reached the cashier and was about to get his food when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"There you are Youngjae." a brightly smiling Jaebeom stood right behind him.

Great. Just the person he wanted to avoid the most, obviously has been waiting for him there where he knew the younger needed to get through to get his food.

“Want to join us at our table? Bambam and Jackson were really excited when they saw you enter the cafeteria earlier. I barely got them to stay seated, we don’t want to pressure you eating with us.” he leaned slightly closer to Youngjae while saying so, “Also you're next in line.”

And so he ended up sitting on that one table he had wanted to avoid the most. Jaebeom on his right and Jackson on his left, the group kept on talking about some dance routine they were practicing and they wanted to show him. Youngjae wasn't quite able to follow what kind of song and routine it was as the subtle touches that happened between him and Jaebeom every few moments, drew his thoughts away from the ongoing conversation he was involved in. Every time he could feel the warmth of the other's arm near his own, he could feel a tingling feeling in his chest. So he tried to listen again to what they were talking about but he simply didn't get as to what kind of moves they were talking about as he wasn't really interested in dancing so much in theory, yes sure watching them, aka mostly watching Jaebeom, was nice but he wasn't really interested in knowing the different genres and how some moves were called.

Soon the youngest of the group, Yugyeom joined the conversation as he had finished eating his lunch and he now tried to show one movement after another and hit by accident another student who's tray full with his food slipped out of his hand. This caused the whole group to stop, Yugyeom apologising for what he had done repeatedly, while said student was stuttering, probably never had thought that one of the dancers would say a word to him.

Once the whole mess was cleaned, and the student was on his way to get something else to eat, Yugyeom had insisted that he would pay for it but the student had vehemently declined.

"Now I feel really bad for him. Why wouldn't he let me pay for his lunch?" Yugyeom pouted next to Jaebeom.

'Adorable' thought Youngjae, the youngest of the group really was adorable, and he could imagine why the boy had declined because otherwise the whole campus would probably turn him into a bad boy, saying that he tripped on purpose and making the other pay for him just to get close with the dancer.

Even at University some people weren't mature enough and loved gossiping about stuff like that. Youngjae couldn't help but imagine what in the mind of the other students was going on when they saw him sitting with the dancers, even if he just was eating lunch with them. Ever since he had sat down, he hadn't spoken a word simply terrified people would misunderstand him and he would embarrass himself in front of the group like he had proven before.

“What is going on in your beautiful mind, Youngjae?” he got torn out of his thoughts by Jaebeom’s voice.
Had he been watching him the whole time? Could he just stop smiling at him like he did right now?

“Nothing.” he spoke softly. Suddenly an arm was being thrown over his shoulder. Jackson was leaning closer to him laughing loudly.

“There can't be nothing going on in a beautiful mind like yours, right Jaebeom hyung?”, his tone sounded slightly mocking but was it towards him or towards Jaebeom? Youngjae wasn’t able to tell.

“Jackson you know what I told you before, hands off.”, the smile had shortly left the elder's lips looking sharply at the other dancer. Youngjae heard snickering from everyone around the table except for him. Hands off? That probably sounded more threatening that it was supposed to be.

“You almost sound like Youngjae here is only for you to be close to hyung. But I don't know if he would agree to that, right hyung?” Bambam said, his first sentence obviously was meant for Jaebeom but with the sentence later he had looked straight into Youngjae's eyes. What was he supposed to resp
